  Some things we've learned today 

  Ronnie Brown has the talent to be a #1 fantasy RB. Now it’s just a matter of whether he can maintain the motivation to perform to his potential all season on a bad team.

  Tony Romo is a bona fide stud QB.

  If Joe Jurevicius catches a pass, it’ll probably be in the end zone.

  Deion Branch and Matt Hasselbeck have chemistry, and Branch is officially relevant in fantasy football again.

  Lee Evans is bored in Buffalo, and isn’t trying very hard. Until this changes, he’s going to suck.

  Cedric Benson sucks.

  Jason Witten is one of the top 3 tight ends in the league. (More …)

  I likes me some Ronnie Brown 

  This is why you don’t trade guys on the basis of two bad games. It looks like Cam Cameron’s Jesse Chatman bluff is paying off; Brown’s finally running like a man with a job to lose.

  Since when has Keyshawn been this good on Countdown? 

  I’m stunned by how personable and interesting Keyshawn Johnson has suddenly become on Sunday NFL Countdown. Where did that come from? He went from terrible and nervous every time I’ve seen him to completely confident on-camera. Weird.

  Emmitt Smith is godawful, as usual; Boomer and Jackson both look like they say a little prayer every time it’s his turn to talk.

    Smith also needs to learn to tie a tie. When they go out on their mock field and he isnt wearing his suit jacket, he looks like a little kid with his tie a full 6″ above his belt. Its not like the dude is super tall and cant buy a tie that fits him!

    Keyshawn Johnson, like Mike Irvin and Deion Sanders, is into cocaine. It gives people an incredible ability to speak publicly, when the usage is controlled. Give it about 5 weeks for him to have one good binge, when he’s talking out his ass about lord knows what.

  Last-minute injury updates 

  Jake Delhomme: The Charlotte Observer sounds pretty sure that he won’t start.

  Calvin Johnson: Conflicting reports make him a very risky start. The Daily Tribune says he’s "expected to miss the game with a lower back bruise," while this guy says he "should be ready for the Bears, and you need to start him." Never mind. He’s out.

  Plaxico Burress: Will probably start, but is far from 100% so his production might be limited. This feels like a trap for the Eagles, though – I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he has a big game anyway.

  Eddie Kennison is out.

  Walker, Ward: Out 

  In case you were too lazy to check our Injury Report (or any site’s report for that matter), you need to be aware the Javon Walker and Hines Ward are both OUT this week. Both are suffering from knee injuries and will be unavailable for this week, so look for an immediate replacement. On their respective teams, the players that will benefit the most are WR Brandon Marshall (woot! woot!), WR Brandon Stokely (Denver) and WR Santonio Holmes, TE Heath Miller and WR Nate Washington (PIT). Let’s see how my boy B. Marshall performs as the number one receiver in the offense…maybe he won’t give it back to Walker! As of now, both Walker and Ward are expected to play next week, but check back to see their status after this weekend.
